Abu Dhabi Festival presents an exciting visit by the Korean National University of Arts Symphony Orchestra conducted by Chi-Yong Chung.

The orchestra has made a major contribution to the musical life of Korea since it was founded in 1993, with performances of Korean music along with major works from the Western classical repertory.

International tours have brought enthusiastic new audiences and for the Abu Dhabi Festival they perform a programme of Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, preceded by an extract from the ballet Princess Bari by the Korean composer Geon-yong Lee, who studied in Seoul and Frankfurt, and combines traditions in a uniquely powerful and moving fashion.
